Warner Studio Tour, Los Angeles

A 'street' on the Warner Brothers back lot

In our opinion, this is the best genuine studio tour you can do.  No roller-coasters, just your chance to go behind-the-scenes at a working movie studio. You’ll see the “back lots”, the sets of films being shot at the moment, the scenery departments and even a little collection of movie vehicles like the “Batmobile”.  Our guide was fantastic and whole thing was a real insight into movie making.  It’s not cheap, but it’s worth it.  Weekdays only – follow the signs for “VIP Tour” from Warner Boulevard. You may need to take your passport with you for security.   This is an extract from our free Los Angeles City Guide.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE WARNER BROTHERS VIP TOUR

One other “show piece” on the Warner Brothers tour is seeing the original Central Perk set from the TV series ”Friends”.  This is housed in an enclosed room and is laid out exactly as it was in the show.  Prepare yourself for how tiny it is though!  The VIP tour cost $48 per adult (2010 price) and last around 2 and half hours.  When we took the tour, a souvenir photo was included in the price, plus you can take photos (unless restricted) on the tour from the carts you travel in.  You can buy tickets online here.
